Talking with this guy at a party tonight whom I've known for years but haven't really seen or chatted with since about three/four years ago. We see each other around Portland a lot and have some similar friends but it's always sort of this awkward 'Hey... how've you been? Cool..." thing, even though I've always thought he was amazing. Anyhow. He was at the same party I was tonight and we chatted a bunch and I think totally flirted? I think we were flirting! Well, I was flirting with him for sure anyhow. Fun.

Swapping youtube song links with my lovely manfriend, he's making me swoon big style! He does in person too, sometimes I just go limp when he holds me, it's ridiculous and fabulous. I'm all a pitter patter for him, then every now and again I remember that he's VEGETARIAN!!! F'ck yeah!

Home safely! What a great week, but I am glad to be home. NYC is a bit of a madhouse! :) We loved it, though. Also, we met PPKers (Tofulish and Leela, Rachell37, RandiJM, kara kara, fauxfrancais, Jilly) who were all lovely. Also, as Tofulish noted above, I got mad Leela hugs and that was one of the best things of the week. What a snugglebum. <3<3<3

Oscar has gained 100 grams! He's back to being over a kilo in weight. I'm so relieved for the little chap, he seems to be getting better as he isn't being aggressive towards his brother so must be in less/no pain. Phew!

The best part of yesterday is that my roommate and I had a potluck and almost every friend who came went to the trouble to make something I could eat. I'm very newly vegan and would have been thrilled with just one other thing, in addition to the chocolate pumpkin dessert I made. But there was so much that was prepared specifically so I could enjoy it that I got full to the point of slight discomfort by the end of the night. And a whole bunch of omnies learned how to make delicious food work in a vegan way!

The best part of today (so far- it's still early) was the big bowl of leftover blueberry crumble with whipped coconut cream that I just had for breakfast.
